To make a long story short: I had my primary rhinoplasty back in August 25th, 2014. It was a complex one. I also had a revision rhinoplasty in March, 2015.
Bottom line: I should never have had surgery. My nose looked just fine on my face, it was a complex of mine and a foolish mistake. Now my nose looks terrible. I am now suffering the consequences of being foolhardy and desperate.
The two photos I have posted are of my nose before (the crooked, downturned one) and after (the ski-slope one/upwards pointing). I very much like the shape of the morph Lucian Ion did for me, but I would like for the tip to be a bit lower, in order for it to get a more round shape (like my original nose), rather than pointy.
If I end up having surgery, it will be in August/September of 2016. A long wait. Hoping it will be well-worth it.
Please tell me what you think about the pictures, and do feel free to ask me anything.

If you would like the tip to be lower or have any questions, raise them with Lucian Ions and he will discuss options with you. If you have questions, ask them.
April 14, 2016
Yes, I definitely will. Still have a lot of time to make up my mind. I might just come back for a second consultation.

The morphs look great! Who did your first two rhinoplasties?
April 25, 2016
Thank you! A surgeon based in Bangkok, Thailand. Don't want to throw his name around. According to Lucian Ion, my previous surgeon did have skills. But I don't like it.

How much does your nose bother you? I guess that's the question. If you do decide on a third round, dr Ion is probably the best choice. [RS bleep]

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would say a solid 10. Never in my life have I felt this insecure about my physical appearance.

Another morph

Mr. Ion did another morph for me. This time the nose is a wee bit smaller. Liking the shape and all, but not sure if it is right for my face. My bridge used to be lower and straighter, with a slight depression on the tip.

Hi, not sure why you are doubting this shape but I think it's really good. Would you rather have it completely straight?
May 19, 2016
If you take a look at one of the most recent photos I have posted, you can see the shape of the bridge of my natural nose is quite different from the morph. A straighter and slightly lower bridge will look more natural on my face, because that's the way my original nose looked by nature. Aesthetically, the shape of the morph is quite nice, but not on just anyone's face, I think. But it was I who requested that shape of Lucian Ion. I am starting to think that going for a new shape time after time, will only lead to me never being content, time after time. I have requested of him to make me a new morph. Will post it here as soon as I get it.

I think the Morph looks loke your original nose angle, but without the hump.

I am very happy with the last morph Mr. Ion made for me. Very excited to have a close look at my nose post-op.

This is what my nose looks like by nature. It looked perfectly normal on my face.

Your nose looked fine pre surgery do I can understand your frustration. That said, Lucian's morphs look great so fingers crossed for a great result.
May 19, 2016
Indeed it did. Having a rhinoplasty is easily the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. I have opted for another morph, and for it to look closer to the original. Should get the moprh in a matter of weeks.
May 19, 2016
I didn't realise you could do that. Did you just email and request he do another for you?
May 19, 2016
Yes. He took photos of my nose from different angles when I had my consultation with him. Yes, I emailed him a week or two ago asking for another morph. He is currently working on it. With surgery there comes limitations, and this I have to understand, but I just want my nose to be as close to the original as possible.
May 19, 2016
Too upturned for a male. I think you'll end up with a good result!
May 19, 2016
The morph, you mean? The picture above is my original nose, pre-surgery. My nose bridge before I had any surgery was pretty straight, with a depression on the tip, making it slightly upturned. The morph is a ski-slope nose, and all in all more upturned and bow-like shaped.
May 19, 2016
I mean the nabionasal angle. The tip looks higher here than in the other photos.

I am looking at having revision with mr ion, i hope he can help you! Good luck!
May 23, 2016
Hi I am having a consultation with mr Ion in July and I am very scared as it will be my third revision having had first two twenty year ago and not by Mr Ion!!My nose is totally botched.Your morphs look great.When will you have your op?
May 23, 2016
Hello.
Very sorry to hear about this. It has been hell for me too. But there is hope! I too am scared... scared shitless, to be frank.
As for my upcoming operation: it is scheduled to be in August-October. As of yet I have not been given an exact date. I will keep updating!

May 24, 2016
Ha thanks for being frank but I know what you mean!!It is not something we take lightly.I got bullied about mine by my brother.I had it done but the tip is awful it has basically collapsed.I did no research 20 year ago but now I am older I want this corrected and Mr Ion has such a good reputation.keep us updated and hopefully your nose will be fab
May 24, 2016
I feel you. :/ Mr. Ion is very straight forward. I think it is safe to say that he knows what he is doing. I have requested for another morph. Will post it as soon as I receive it. Best of luck to you!
May 27, 2016
Do you pay each time you ask for another morph?I am looking forward to seeing mine.I am beginning to wish I had never had it done in the first place!!I am now scared and it will cost a lot of money all through people being cruel.I think I am just having a bad day!!Glad you will be sorted soon.Mr Ion seems really good
May 28, 2016
No, Mr. Ion does it for free. I get you. If only I had let my nose be, but that's too late now. I am really looking forward to getting this sorted. It may sound silly, to some people, but the way my nose looks now prevents me from living a normal life. It is so frickin' uncomfortable to go outside sometimes and to be around people. If I can be of any assistance, any assistance at all, do not hesitate to ask about anything. I feel you pain...
June 9, 2016
Please let me know once you have your op and how you feel about mr Ion.I now cannot wait.I think your nose will be easy compared to mine!!!Good luck!!
June 17, 2016
I will definitely let you know right away, but I will have to give my nose a couple of months to heal before concluding.
June 18, 2016
Yes I think it takes a couple of month for the swelling to go down.I am dreading that part.At least you have a fab surgeon doing it.I really wish I had done more research in the first place and I would not have been in this situation where it is going to cost me a fortune just to have a normal nose!!!never mind these things come to try us!!Most people say they have never even noticed my nose so maybe we think we look worse than we actually do.Anyway roll on July for my consultation and I will see what my morphs look like.Good Luck with op
June 19, 2016
I feel you. I don't give a rat's ass about what other people think of how I look. The only thing that truly matters to me is that I can feel comfortable in my own skin.
